Food (Building)

Food buildings focus on food production and storage. Food is one of the most important resources in Oxygen Not Included.

Every duplicant needs 1000 kilocalories per day. Food items that are not refrigerated, nor stored in sterile environment will spoil and eventually turn into Rot Piles. All food loaded into cooking stations counts as refrigerated.

Tips

 * It is recommended to not produce a great surplus of food because of spoiling. Though, using refrigerators or a sterile environment (such as immersing the food in Carbon Dioxide) will keep the food from spoiling. Also, Polluted Water and Polluted Oxygen will increase how quickly food spoils, so avoid those environments.
